## Description

The Westinghouse WGen5500 portable generator is a perfect portable power solution, whether you are looking for an emergency power supply for your home or you need to power campsite, tailgate party, or your latest home improvement project. Designed by Westinghouse in Columbus, Ohio, the dependable & easy-to-use WGen5500 offers a variety of premium, innovative features at a value that cannot be beat by comparable generator models. An intuitive control panel with conveniently located controls makes the WGen5500 easy to operate. Rubber covered GFCI power outlets provide additional protection from the environment & rugged conditions. Unlike comparable generator models, the WGen5500 sturdy hardened-steel frame features roll bars on the top of the unit that provide additional protection for the unit's 6.6 gallon gas tank. The roll bars additionally offer a larger variety of options for transporting & securing the unit. The WGen5500 features a powerful Westinghouse engine that was designed with reliability & extended life in mind. Westinghouse engines incorporate overhead valve technology that allows the engine to run at lower temperatures & use less fuel than conventional side valve engines. Additionally, a built-in automatic low oil shutdown protects the WGen5500 engine from damage by shutting the engine down if the oil level becomes dangerously low or if the oil overheats & loses viscosity. A digital hour meter on the control panel makes it easy to perform regular maintenance on the WGen5500, ensuring long-life & lasting utility. The Westinghouse WGen5500 portable generator is backed by a three-year warranty & Westinghouse nationwide service & support network.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐ 







  
  
    Worked for 5 hours
  

*by A***I on Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2017*

got this for the hurricane. Worked fine for 5 hours. Then started to just shut off and act like it's running out of fuel. Called support and they said to take the carbonator apart and see if there is something stuck in there. Anyways I didnt buy a brand new generator to play a technician a day after hurricane irma and I'm without power. Now stuck without power after I thought I would be prepared.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Easy starts and runs my whole house
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2018*

I purchased this for my home to have heat and hot water during outages. I unboxed the unit, filled it with Mobil1 5w-30 and fueled up along with star tron ethanol additive. I run the unit every 3 months for 30 min under a load to be sure it works and runs and so far no issues. This unit runs my whole home without issue. For $450 warehouse deal it was worth every penny.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Can pull the starter cord without issues.
  

*by P***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2017*

One design flaw, the pull starter cored is behind the control cover. So when you go to pull the cord it rubs up against the sheet metal.
